agree  Margaret Schroeder: Growth estimators are measures of particular parts of the plant, used to estimate the plant's overall growth. It's clear that the term is used in this way both in the reference and in Cecilia's text.

I found this on the possible etymology of benchmark:

One might imagine that since so many technical tests in so many fields actually take place on some sort of "test bench" that "benchmark" simply refers to an actual "bench" in that sense. Evidently, however, the story is a bit more complicated. A "benchmark" was originally a mark cut into a stone or a wall by surveyors measuring the altitude and/or level of a tract of land. The cut was used to secure a bracket called a "bench" upon which they mounted their measuring equipment, and all subsequent measurements were made in reference to the position and height of that mark. Voila, "benchmark," which first appeared in English around 1842, and quickly began to be used figuratively in the "standard of quality" sense we see today.

agree  Denise Nahigian: "Benchmark" was my first instinct. It's widely used in human development, though I'm less sure about its use with regard to plants...

  -> Thanks. Webster: "The term presumably originates from the practice of making dimensional height measurements of an object on a workbench using a graduated scale or similar tool, and using the surface of the workbench as the origin for the measurements."
